I'm not myself

Question

Can you please let me know what the following sentences say and how they are different in terms of whatever they say? The keyword is 'myself', is it used in sense of 'self-being', or say 'psychological-being' as opposed to the purely physical or biological one?

1: I'm not feeling myself.
2: I'm not feeling like myself.
3: I'm not myself.

1: I'm not feeling myself.
2: I'm not feeling like myself.
3: I'm not myself.

These are quite vague. A given individual may not mean the same thing when using one of these on different occasions. And surely one individual may wish to express a different thing than another.

1. My total awareness (irrespective of specific external stimuli, but including motivations, desires, aches and pains, systemic discomforts, illness, etc.) is in some way or ways, not normal (for me).

2. In my experience, this is more or less restricted to the "purely physical."

3. I've assumed the personality of another.
